The Sioux were finally defeated at Wounded Knee when soldiers opened fire, killing 300 of 350 men, women, and children. This was known as the Ghost Dance War.
Sioux were hunter gatherers whose diet consisted mainly of corn, fruit, wild rice, fish, deer, and buffalo. They also often had wars with the Ojibwa which caused them to eventually occupy other areas. Sioux Native Americans were also well known for their celebrations that often included dancing, singing, and eating.

George Armstrong Custer's soldiers discovered gold in the Black Hills. The U.S. government responded by insisting that the Sioux who lived there sell their reservaation land but the Sioux refused. This caused the Battle of the Little Bighorn in which Sioux warriors surrounded George Armstrong Custer and his troops. It was the worst defeat the U.S. army suffered in the west.
Custer was defeated and killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, against a coalition of Native American tribes composed almost exclusively of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors, and led by the Sioux warrior Crazy Horse and the Sioux leaders Gall and Sitting Bull. This confrontation has come to be popularly known in American history as Custer's Last Stand.
